Why do some tracks, when imported from Audacity, when selected, immediately flip to a different track?

Up until early 2012, I digitized thousands of LP tracks using Audacity, exporting them as MP3 files and then adding them to my iTunes library as AAC format.  This all worked great.
Now, after a year using a new MacBook Pro, I have started digitizing my remaining dozen LP's after downloading and installing the latest version of Audacity (2.0.3).  I noticed that several - not all - of the newly digitized tracks, when selected in iTunes, would immediately jump to a different track.  Sometimes the jump would be to a much older track, and sometimes to a track that was purchased from the iTunes store.  Sometimes the jump would be to the next track in sequence.  A Genius Bar staff suggested that I change from MP3 to AIFF, and that seemed to help after I re-digitized the problem tracks.  Today, however, I noticed that 3 of the 11 tracks from an album I converted yesterday were jumping to other tracks.  I had the AIFF preference set to 32-bit.  Would changing it to 16-bit help?  Why would only some tracks be affected?
Argh!

You are welcome.  That issue between iTunes and Audacity comes up here every once in a while:

If you are making archival copies of those LPs, keep the 32 bit copies somewhere and make 16-bit versions to use in iTunes.  Otherwise, just do everything in 16.

  • TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

    Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view?

    Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks

    Hi, Daryl -
    If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
    Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

  • How to export and import from AIX to solaris a whole schema with different

    how to export and import from AIX to solaris a whole schema with different character set
    import done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
    import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
    Import terminated successfully with warnings.

    The conversion between the character sets on the two servers are handled automatically. Export from one server will export the data given the character set defined on that server. Import into another server will import the data given the character set defined on that server, performing a conversion if necessary. This can be a problem when going from single-byte to a multi-byte character set. In your case, the warning is simply for your information, shoule be no real problem given the character sets you're using.

  • Why do some songs re-download from iCloud in 256 Variable?

    Some songs will download from iCloud in 256-bit, others in 256 Variable. Why that? All were uploaded/matched from Apple Lossless (ALAC).

    I don't know this for sure, since I have not seen this behavior, but this is my speculation.
    Songs that are matched will download from the iTunes Store in straight 256 Kbps, since that is how they are encoded. The VBR downloads are probably coming from tracks that are uploaded, and this is how you've got your import settings set up. Any ALAC files that are not matched will have a copy made of them and that will be uploaded so I'm guessing that whatever your import settings are is how the files will be encoded.

  • Why have some tracks appeared in duplicate?

    Some tracks in iTunes Match appear on my iPad and iPhone in duplicate. For example, the iTunes library on my Mac has Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree on it. This appears in playlists so it is on both my mobile devices as well. However, since subscribing to Match the downloaded tracks AND duplicate undownloaded tracks appear on my mobile devices...why is this and can I do anything about it?

    If you have view automation turned on and click the disclosure triangle in the track header you can see extra automation tracks. This is to allow you to view different types of automation for a single track without having them all bunched on top of each other.
    At a guess, they appear empty because you don't have any other automation on the track apart from volume. You can get rid of them by clicking on the disclosure triangle to hide them then check out the automation section of the manual, it should make more sense to you after this.

  • Sound missing on some files after import from DV camcorder

    Hi everyone,
    As a new user to Macs grateful if you can help.
    When importing to imovie 08 from a DV tape, some clips go fine, others are then missing the audio. Also some clips have audio and playback OK initially, then have audio missing after closing and re-opening imovie. Is this a bug? What should I do? Many thanks

    Hi,
    I had a simular problem. To solve it I went about 5 seconds into the footage and started importing from that point, not the start of the tape.
    What caused the prob? My only guess is the tape I was using was fairly used and right at the start of my tape I had some old footage for less than a second. When the new footage kicked in the sound went.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why won't some movies get imported from camera?

    I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 with Panther, and a USB camera (PowerShot AS7100IS). Everything works great except for one thing: some movies I make with the cameras aren't seen by iPhoto and never imported. I have to do it with Image Capture utility, which is annoying. Does anyone know why this happens - what determines whether it sees the AVIs on the camera or not?
    Mike

    Mike
    Size is the usual issue. iPhoto will baulk at importing large videos directly from a camera.

  • Why won't album artwork import from a CD into Mac iTunes?

    I used to have a Windows version of iTunes, and when I imported CDs, the album artwork was automatically added. However, now I'm using Mac iTunes on an iBook, and when I import the very same CDs, no album artwork is added on any of them. I've also noticed that when I transfer the archived songs from the Windows hard drive (via a flash drive) to the Mac iTunes, the artwork is there -- it's just not adding the artwork when I import the CDs directly into Mac iTunes. Is there a setting I'm missing?

    Standard Audio CDs don't come with artwork.
    Some recent CDs might, but I've never seen them.
    I guess there was an iTunes plug-in or similar utility on your PC that searched for artwork and added it.
    To add artwork on a Mac there are several scripts (www.dougscript.com) and programs that can find it for you.
    Search on versiontracker.com for Clutter, iTunescool, Fetch Art

  • Why do some videos not copy from iphone to pc?

    I don't understand why some videos will not copy from my iphone 4s to my pc (win xp) when I connect iphone usb to pc using "scanner and camera wizard"? Just some of them. It doesn't matter if its 2min or 2 sec long. Just randomly says it can't copy to my pc...
    why??
    Also can I avoid all this if I have icloud set up on both devices?
    I haven't tried because it seems that everywhere I have read and researched - icloud only pushes photos/photostream/camera roll (as well as documents, contacts, etc) But I am focused on home videos I have recorded on my iphone camera trying to get it off iphone and onto pc.
    Immediate response would be SOO appreciated!

    Yeah I considered that but I had so many photos & videos I attempted it this way. And I am getting some videos to copy to pc - juist not all...grrr thanks for the icloud info though,

  • Why do some tracks not get added to my albums? how to fix?

    Hi guys
    First post so easy on the noob
    When I import CD's into itunes it often doesn't recognise the album name so won't import artwork.
    However if I edit the album and give it a different album name or artist etc it will often pickup the correct artwork. But when I do this it often drops tracks of of the album playlist.
    So I import say 15 tracks and all are named correctly but no artwork is found. I rename album and yay, I now have the artwork but now only 4 of the 15 tracks are showing when I open the album to see the playlist.
    The tracks kicked from the album get moved to the unknown album folder, so the question is what do I have to edit or what do I have to do to get them back in the right album folder where they belong?
    I hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Tad

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp - the unknown album issue seems to be a intermittent problem when Use Album Artists is enabled. Close and reopen iTunes and it should sort things out.

  • Why are some objects not printing from Illustrator after I print to PDF?

    Hi,
    I've printed a large Illustrator CS6 document to PDF (using Adobe PDF setting in print dialog box), and it looks just fine when I view the PDF. The problem is that some lines do not print when I try to print the PDF on paper. I've tried adjusting settings and printing to the PDF in different ways, but can't figure it out. Everything looks great on the screen, but some lines are missing once printed to paper. Others have tried printing the PDF as well and are also getting missing lines.
    Any suggestions?! Thanks!

    I've tried selecting print all layers, and I'm also tiling the pages to a custom page size. I've left all the other settings at default. Everything looks perfect on screen, but parts of the same object do not print. I tried to attach a screen shot but am getting an error. Basically each page has a border around it, and one side of the border is not printing on certain pages.

    Sorry if my explanation of the problem was not clear, but the HD's are fine. I have checked them using fsck, disk warrior, TechTool Pro. they are fine. The drives are not showing up at all, and SATA shows "no information" Once in a while SATA will start working again briefly, then just GO AWAY! And the PCI SATA card I installed acts the same way. I am leaving one HD in the logicboard and one in the PCI card and they both go away (not the whole PCI card, just the HD).
    Thanks for the reply.
    OK, since you are also having things go away with the PCI SATA controller, this could be a problem with either (a) PCI-X bridge or (b) the U3 Memory controller, as they are the two things in the chain between the CPU and where you are having the problems.
    Do you have other PCI cards in use? If so, then if you lose contact with them, that would be a clue.
    On the other hand, you seemed to indicate that even when the Tempo lost the HD, you could still see the Tempo in System Profiler? If the Tempo is still shown in profiler, then, we have a real mystery on our hands. Of course, a system log file wouldn't help because you have lost it, unless you are booting from an external FW drive.
    Watson, the game is afoot.

  • Why does the song I imported from iTunes to edit, sound weak after burning to a CD?

    I needed to shorten a song that's on a commercially available CD because it has a rather long instrumental in it.  We're using this in my church as part of the service. 
    What I did:  I ripped the CD into iTunes, then I opened a new project in Garage Band as "Loops", drug the song into the track, chopped out the lengthy part, sent it to iTunes, made a "Play List" in iTunes and burned a CD.  The result was a recording that sounds weak and lack luster.  The original CD sounds so awesome that you just have to get out of your seat and participate (it's a Call & Response song), whereas the shorter version that I created sounds dull and the congregation is left feeling kinda' ho-hum.  :-( 
    What did I do wrong?  What should I do differently?  I don't mind doing everything all over again, I just don't want to burn through 10 CDs before discovering by trial and error.  Thanx in advanced for everybody's input...

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • Unable to Rotate Some Pictures After Importing from iphone4S

    When I upload my pictures to my computer (Windows), half of the pictures will not allow editing/rotating.  A message pops up that says "This picture can't be saved because of a problem with the picture file's properties.  I've checked the properties and cannot see anything that would be an issue.  It's a jpeg image.  There is also no pattern to which ones allow editing and which ones do not.  If I take 10 pictures in a row, 3 may allow editing while 7 do not.  Can anyone help me???
